This can't really be my TR because Matt requested a front page story.

The thing is Matt kind of is the story. This was by far the most terrain I've seen on closing day.
Can someone count the number of routes from top-to-bottom? I had six. Plus Giant Slalom, plus Rascals.

I ran into Laz and John Vas (former Mtn Mgr of Campgaw) at the top of Northface at 3:30. We chatted for at 10 minutes and then I asked if anyone knew the time. I guess that reminded Laz that it was closing day and the skiing was excellent.

Double spun until 5 and triple to 5:30. Technically it was not my fault.

Agree on the trail count.
But Belleayre today had about 16 runs that were at least 50% distinct, not counting cross-mountain trails.

Belleayre was amazing this year. Amazing. But IMO comparing them misses the point.

When Plattekill has a good year, they spend 50k on more snowmaking the next summer. That number is made up, but the general idea applies. From where I sit what Plattekill did this year was even more amazing that what Belle did.
